	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   ACR 141, Cedillo.  Domestic Worker Appreciation Day.
   This measure would declare March 30, 2000, to be Domestic Worker
Appreciation Day.




   WHEREAS, Domestic workers have numerous responsibilities,
including sweeping, mopping, waxing, preparing and serving breakfast,
lunch, and dinner, cleaning bathrooms, doing laundry, dusting and
vacuuming, cleaning windows, and caring for children and pets; and
   WHEREAS, Domestic workers often must work on holidays and special
events, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, Independence Day,
weddings, banquets, and family birthdays; and
   WHEREAS, Domestic workers' efforts allow doctors to visit more
patients, lawyers to take more cases, and accountants to serve more
clients, among others; and
   WHEREAS, Domestic workers are the most economically and socially
marginalized workers in society and, because they often work in total
isolation, we often fail to recognize their significant
contributions; and
   WHEREAS, March 30 is the international day of recognition for
domestic workers celebrated throughout the world, mainly in Latin
America; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby declares  each  March
30 to be "Domestic Worker Appreciation Day" in recognition of all
domestic workers for their hard work and dedication, their
contribution to the stability and well-being of the California family
household, and their often overlooked contributions to the
California economy; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
